Green Bay gas prices up 48 cents from January

The average retail price for a gallon of gasoline in Green Bay ticked up slightly in the past week to $3.75, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 127 gas outlets.

The price is 19.8 cents higher than a year ago and 48 cents higher than a month ago.

The U.S. average was $3.72 a gallon. That is 9.1 cents a gallon more than a year ago and 42 cents more than a month ago.

"The streak is over," GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan said. "Data showed the national average rising for 32 consecutive days, starting Jan. 20 at $3.265 per gallon, and ending Feb. 21 at $3.733 per gallon. The tide has now turned and the national average has dropped two days straight. This is certainly excellent news for disillusioned motorists - but I would caution them not to get overly thrilled as prices may linger near these levels for some time."
